Rock'n'Roll makes a good SF by sheer looks alone. Still maybe have your last 4 possibly Short-Fuze being part of a Cavalry Scouts team.

I debated on whether to make Rock'n'Roll and Grunt SF Weapons Sergeant's or not.
I think with R'nR the case could be made that he grew his beard after joining the Joes (since they seem to have more relaxed grooming standards) provided he was with the 75th (where a beard would be a no-no). Tyroc wisely pointed out in regards to Grunt that he would have been just a standard Infantry guy (and not a former SOF soldier) hence his codename of "Grunt".

I'm not sure I see Breaker as an SF Comms Sgt. I see him more as a guy from the Intelligence Support Activity.

Yeah Breaker is a difficult one. On one hand he seems more of a signals guy but later filecards put him as more of a SIGINT guy. I think it was Tyroc who mentioned the book "Relentless Strike" where former SF Communications Sergeants were responsible for setting up Delta's SIGINT platoon. Maybe Breaker went this route as well? SF Comms joining the Joe team, messing around with SIGINT type of stuff on his spare time and eventually a section or a platoon is developed because of it.

By the way, does anybody know what that jacked up device is that Lightfoot uses when he is in the field? I think yojoe.com has it listed as a "mine detector unit" or some such nonsense, but it looks more like a mine extractor claw (if that even exists) plus he has a robot "friend." The Impel card says he uses an "airfoil-powered mine detector with a digitized oscillating frequency module and a built-in geiger counter / spectrometer and scintillometer." Is this based on a real EOD tool and backpack?

You got me, and what do you need a scintillometer for? Is he worried about the humidity, and if it will ruin his manly coiffe?

What he really needs is a gun. Imagine him being reinvented as a Special Forces Engineer/ Radio Operator. And of course lose the Yellow. I will give you Airtight, but that is when this Crap should have been stopped.
